The Parent/Child functionality gives you the ability to make the form dynamically change based on the candidate/user’s answers, by allowing multiple Child questions to be connected a single Parent question. The child question(s) will appear based on how the parent question is answered.
...
The parent question can only be a Multiple Choice Question. Whilst the questions are built in the Global Question Pool, the parent/child relationship needs to be established once the questions have been imported into a form.
An example would be asking if the candidate was a current employee, and if they answered yes, they would be required to enter their employee number.
